This weekend I had Crocus wattiorum in flower ...
Krisvery nice plants. They are two weeks later than mine which are now well over probably due to different watering regimes. Interesting to see them flowering with the leaves which is supposed to be one of the differences with C. nerimaniae. This year my C. wattiorum have flowered without leaves just like the C. nerimaniae
Kris, nice to see Crocus wattiorum in so later time.Tony,in my observation blossoms Crocus nerimaniae always without foliage, it appears only weeks after the blossom and remains also the whole winter about no longer as 2-3 cm. With Crocus wattiorum the foliage comes by the end of the blossom and grows in mild weather the whole winter. Now Crocus nerimaniae about 2 mm haslong foliage, Crocus wattiorum about 5 cm.
Just checked my plants - nerimaniae has 2-5 cm long leaves (finished blooming ~10 days ago), wattiorum - 5-10 cm long leaves (last flowers plucked off today). Outside is snow and minus 3 C.Janis
Tony,On my observation, C. wattiorum is flowering with leaves even sometimes leaves start to grow earlier then flowers. C. nerimaniae flower without leaves. On my nerimaniae the flowers are over long times ago but the leaves just showed the tips.I just put my wattiorum page link: the photos taken in different gardens and in different conditions.http://crocusmania.blogspot.com/search/label/wattiorumwith my best wishes.. ibrahim
